Adobe Reader application association issue
I have a few strange PDF files (that I received once from my bank) that open correctly only in Adobe Reader. So on my new Ubuntu 20.04 I installed Adobe Reader from the latest available Linux version (AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb) to be able to open these files. After installation, Adobe Reader set itself as the default application for PDF files, so I set the default application back to Evince. After I did this, Adobe Reader does no more appear in the "Open with another application" menu, so I cannot use it with right-click - I have to open Adobe Reader from the main menu and use File/Open in the application or drag-and-drop. It is a bit inconvenient.
I checked /usr/share/applications/defaults.list (actually a symlink to /etc/gnome/defaults.list) and it contains the line
application/pdf=AdobeReader.desktop
which must have been added during Adobe Reader installation. However, my ~/.config/mimeapps.list contains in [Default Applications] section the line
application/pdf=org.gnome.Evince.desktop
как я установил приложение по умолчанию обратно в Evince, и оно также содержит в [Добавленные ассоциации] строку
применение / PDF = AdobeReader.desktop;
which I guess should cause Adobe Reader be displayed among applications suitable to open a PDF file - but it isn't.
Even after I manually changed the line in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to application/pdf=org.gnome.Evince.desktop and removed the same from my ~/.config/mimeapps.list, it didn't change anything. Adobe Reader is still not displayed. I ran update-desktop-database, logged out and back in from the DE.
What else can I try?
BTW. I'm using GNOME Flashback, so the file manager is Nautilus.

Следуя приведенному выше комментарию muktupavels, я заменил строку Exec = acroread с Exec = acroread% F в файле /usr/share/applications/AdobeReader.desktop , и это решило проблему.
